Articles

This page links to articles and other pieces of writing that I have found interesting.  I have done my best not violate anyone's copyrighted material.  If you think that one of these articles does that, then please get in touch with me at j_s_kelley@yahoo.com.  Some of the articles listed here are the result of our student essays.  In our organization, we are required to discuss or otherwise ponder certain aspects of Aikido. This takes the form of a paper which is submitted at the time of rank examination.  Some of the papers have been posted here with the permission of the authors.

• Competition as an Inhibitor to Learning: Aikido's Philosophy of Peace - Andrew Garner
